Renfrewshire’s Provost, Lorraine Cameron, said: “Renfrewshire has a proud military tradition, and these services of commemoration are a chance to recognise those who have done so much to shape past, present and future generations.

“It’s so important that we pay our respects to those who have made the ultimate sacrifice, and I look forward to the community once again coming together to show their gratitude for all who have gone before us.”
